How to get the values of a column according to multiple conditions of another column?

General Usage
1

I would like to get values from a column according to multiple conditions of another column.
Here is an example of what i would like to do:

list_of_values = df[df[:column1] .== (value1 OR value2),:].column2

I know that for a condition it works like this:

list_of_values = df[df[:column1] .== value1,:].column2

I hope you can help me.

Try

list_of_values = df[in.(df[:column1], Ref([value1, value2]),:].column2

Note, if df[:column] works for you, you are probably using a very old version of DataFrames. This could cause problems in other areas.

Are you required to get the subset by using brackets? This use case seems like good reason to use filter. You could do something like

filter(:column1 => (c1 -> c1 == value1 || c1 == value2), df).column2
5

df[df[:,:col1] .āˆˆ Ref([val1,val2]),:].col2 , seems a bit closer match to the syntax in your question.

For example:

using DataFrames
df = DataFrame((x=rand(1:10,10),y=rand("hello",10)))
df[df[:,:x] .āˆˆ Ref([7,9]),:].y

Iā€™d write

df[in([value1, value2]).(df.column1), :column2]
